Joe & Redban Celebrate 12 Years of JRE

Dude, 12 years ago today. Isn't it 13? We started this thing. I think it's 12. 2009, right? 2009, yeah. Yeah, 12. Oh, yeah, 12. I did that yesterday too. Yeah. It seems like it would be, but no. I just rewatched a little bit of it the other day. So strange. Yeah. We're so young-faced. I know, and skinnier. Both of us. Yeah. Yeah. 12 fucking years. Are we recording? I think we're recording. Yeah. Oh, we should get snowflakes. We should have had snowflakes on. Yeah, we need snowflakes. Can you do something? I did it that one time we did this, and I had to do a lot of pre-setup stuff to get it on. Actually, I can add them. We're not allowed to. We should have real snowflakes. Like have something that covers... No. No. That's bizarre, right? Yeah. So bizarre. Would you have ever guessed that it would turn into this? How the fuck can I ever guess that? My mom's now watching you for COVID news and stuff like that. No. It's pretty crazy. My mom's now a listener of yours, which she never used to be, but it started off with a guy from CNN. Sanjay Gupta? Yeah. She's just like, I'm so angry. Yeah. I think a lot of people came on board in that one. That one backfired on them. Yeah. No. There's no way I could have predicted it. How the fuck could anybody have predicted it? We started off with like zero listeners and just not thinking it was going to be anything other than just fucking around. And then somewhere along the line, it just became this. And I always saw it in the past, like before we started this, like anytime you did morning radio, you always like, usually as a comedian, you're in town, you would do like 10 minutes. Look at us. Look at that. You're so skinny. I hate not having a beard. Look at that. Weak upper lip. Yeah. But like we'd go, usually as a comedian, you would go to a city and you'd do morning radio. Usually you'd do like a 15 minute, like plug the shows that you're in town for. You always did like three and a half hours. You did the whole show and it was always so fun. And we always remember you talked about like you need to get a radio show. Yeah, but I was always like, they'll never give me a radio show because then they would tell me what to do. And it would just be so censored. You know, I could do censored radio a couple of days. But after a while, I'd be like, what the fuck? Why am I not talking like I normally talk? This is stupid. Like you want to be able to talk on the radio the same way you do with your friends. And it was never possible. But then when Adam Carolla left the radio and went over and started doing a podcast, I think that was really like the first. Like I knew that podcasts were a thing. I think I'd heard of them, but no one was doing them. And then when Adam like literally just did a radio show on the Internet, I was like, oh, okay. And then obviously it was like Anthony, Anthony doing live from the compound was probably the biggest push. And Tom Green. And Tom Green. That's right. Tom Green. He had a whole television show online in like 2008 or seven. It was like 2007. It was it was definitely 2007 because we went there for the Carl Zmancia video. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And Adam Carolla was still on the radio during that time because I did his radio show. That's right. That's right. Remember Tom had like all those wires running through his house and a room filled with servers. You and I were blown away. We were like, what the fuck? I even talked to those people because they were located in Denver, the people who did his thing. I went and I talked to them in Denver and I don't know why I wasn't into it. They wanted to do something, but I don't know why. I was like, I just not feeling this. I'm just I don't know. They wanted to do a similar thing to what they were doing with Adam. And I was like, I don't know. Just didn't. It's wrong timing for whatever reason, you know. You
